But before you start stitching, it’s crucial to master the art of bobbin threading. Don’t worry, it’s easier than you think! This comprehensive guide will walk you through the process, step-by-step, ensuring you thread your bobbin like a pro.

Getting Started: Gathering Your Supplies

Before diving into the threading process, let’s gather the necessary tools:

• Your Brother LS-2125 Sewing Machine: Make sure it’s unplugged for safety.
• Bobbin: The bobbin is a small spool that holds the thread used for the underside of your stitches.
• Bobbin Thread: Choose a thread that complements your top thread color and fabric.
• Scissors: For trimming excess thread.
• Optional: A small screwdriver (if you need to adjust the bobbin tension).

Step 1: Unveiling the Bobbin Case

1. Locate the Bobbin Winder: Look for the bobbin winder on the right side of your machine. It has a small spindle and a presser foot.
2. Release the Bobbin Winder: Pull the bobbin winder lever to release it from the spindle.
3. Insert the Bobbin: Place the bobbin onto the spindle, ensuring it spins freely.

Step 2: Threading the Bobbin

1. Thread the Bobbin: Pull the thread from the bobbin and thread it through the small hole on the top of the bobbin winder.
2. Engage the Bobbin Winder: Press the bobbin winder lever down to engage it.
3. Wind the Bobbin: Hold the end of the thread and press the foot pedal to wind the bobbin. Stop when the bobbin is full.
4. Remove the Bobbin: Release the bobbin winder lever and remove the fully wound bobbin.

Step 3: Inserting the Bobbin into the Bobbin Case

1. Locate the Bobbin Case: Open the bobbin case cover on the front of your machine. It’s usually a small door with a latch.
2. Open the Bobbin Case: Carefully open the bobbin case.
3. Insert the Bobbin: Place the bobbin into the bobbin case, ensuring the thread is wound clockwise.
4. Close the Bobbin Case: Gently close the bobbin case.

Step 4: Securing the Bobbin Case

1. Insert the Bobbin Case: Hold the bobbin case by the hook and insert it into the bobbin hook mechanism. You’ll hear a click when it’s in place.
2. Pull the Thread: Pull the thread through the small slot in the bobbin case cover, leaving about 4 inches of thread dangling.

Step 5: Threading the Upper Thread

1. Raise the Presser Foot: Lift the presser foot lever to raise the needle.
2. Thread the Needle: Follow the thread path indicated by the arrows on your machine. Thread the needle from front to back.
3. Lower the Presser Foot: Lower the presser foot lever.

Step 6: Final Checks and Preparations

1. Test the Thread Tension: Pull gently on the top and bottom threads. They should feel equally taut. Adjust the bobbin tension knob if needed.
2. Ready to Sew: Your Brother LS-2125 is now ready to sew!
